Police seek community help in hit-and-run probe

Police today released video and photos and asked the public for help in their investigation of a hit-and-run in May that seriously injured a 60-year-old woman and a child on the Northwest Side.

About 6:20 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, the woman and child were crossing Montrose Avenue at Kedzie Avenue when they were struck by a white four-door SUV heading westbound on Montrose.

The two victims were taken to Swedish Covenant Hospital with serious injuries, said Police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor. She could not provide updated conditions but said she believed the two survived the injuries.

A community alert issued Saturday said the driver of the SUV did not stop and fled the crash scene in the vehicle.

Police ask anyone with information to call the Major Accident Investigation Unit at 312-745-4521.
